S.r Y/4 II lows ta Sigma 4etal~~ii 0 19 DR. WALTER L. SMITH JR. UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT 1977- A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT "WHAT IS FAMU" Z C) -Il Handicapped? Minority Citizens? Majority Citizens? What is their society- the campus? The neighborhood around campus? Tallahas- see? Florida? The Nation? The World? Do we measure quality of life by economic security? Political Power? Cultural Impact? Is "Learn- ing" Technical Training? Intellectual Inves- tigation? Sponsored Research? Retaining Facts and Formuli? As famuans, are we the privileged or the responsible? The benefac- tors or the beneficiaries? While there is no finite answer to the questions posed, it is obvious that FAMU is a composite of all of these and more. Therefore, as we all work together to translate our FAMU vision into admission policies, recruitment programs, curricula, student activities, grading standards, selec- tion of faculty and staff, research and service... We must not forget that a true university transcends place and buildings and becomes a rational spirit to direct and sustain us as individuals and as a great institution of higher learning- Florida A & M Univer- sity Walter L. Smith President 0 Every university president enjoys an opportunity to talk about his vision for his institution, but as your new president, I particularly appreciate this opportunity to share with my fellow Rattlers some philoso- phical thoughts about our university. Although I "inherited" FAMU's official statement of purpose as it had been formalized, I accepted and endorsed it, and I was pleased to note that the results of our campus-wide questionnaire revealed the entire FAMU family's concurrence with this concept: The university, including the administration, faculty, staff, and student body, is indeed dedicated to the traditional ideals of learning, and, thereby, contribute to improving the quality of life for those individuals it serves and their society. Thus we share a common, worthy vision. But vision, like faith, must be translated into practical, day-to-day activity or else it never becomes a reality. My request and challenge to you is to help me make visible and concrete our philosophical concept of FAMU. I am sure that our interpretations will involve heated, but stimulating and vitalizing debate. Who are our students-Young? Old? Rich? Poor? Gifted? Underprepared? Healthy? -l Z 1 II Dr. Smith Right, chats with immediate past president, Dr. Benjamin L. Perry Jr. qm~J, )..~ Walter L. Smith III with the new first lady, Jeri Smith.

'' F' ^fl "There is still a double standard, Blacks must be twice as good as their white counterparts." He advised young black journalists in particular to think about breaking in as copy readers because so few blacks are in editing positions. "About 95 percent of the blacks in newspapers are reporters," said Moore, a founder of the Association of Black Journalists.. Few are in management positions, he said. Young black journalists should also consider pursuing long-range goals of reporting on the Third World, he said. Most of the reporters covering African news now, he said, are white, and they are missing the stories because they are talking with embassy sources instead of talking with the people of the countries. By JAMES CRAMER Democrat staff writer If Acel Moore hadn't been given a three-inch Associated Press story to re-write, he may never have won the Pulitzer Prize last year. Moore, a visiting instructor in journalism at Florida A&M University for the spring quarter, said Thursday his life has changed significantly since he won the prize last April for an investigative series about a Pennsylvania state hospital for the criminally insane. "Since our white colleagues aren't quoting the right people, there is an opportunity for blacks to try," he said. Moore called himself "a product of Acel Moore, a pulitzer Prize Winner and a reporter of the Philadelphia Inquire visited FAMU's Journalism Department an, gave a seminar on the "Importance and : Need for Black journalist in the print media.'

UPDATED: Jan. 21 at 3:15 p.m.
The Harvard University Library system will seek to reduce the size of its workforce as part of an ongoing restructuring process, according to a transcript of remarks made by Harvard University Library Executive Director Helen Shenton at one of three town hall meetings held Thursday.
"The new organizational design has not yet been approved, but it is certain that it will be different from the current one," said Shenton at one of the town hall meetings. "A key change: the Library workforce will be smaller than it is now."
The University is considering both voluntary and involuntary options to reduce the staff size, but would prefer voluntary methods, Shenton said. While Harvard has laid off employees in the past, the University has at times also offered some staff voluntary early retirement packages or waited for attrition to reduce staff.
University Librarian Robert C. Darnton '60 told The Crimson in the fall that the goal of restructuring was increased efficiency.
"We are consolidating the libraries in a way that will save money, and that money saved will be plowed back into acquisitions and expanded services," said Darnton told The Crimson at the time. "It will make the library much stronger."
Prior to Thursday's meetings, rumors and speculation circulated amongst library employees about the implications of the library restructuring.
"All of Harvard library staff have just effectively been fired," read one tweet that circulated on Thursday after the first town hall had begun.
Others suggested that the restructuring would require that all library employees reapply to keep their current positions. The University strongly refuted this statement, but recommended that all employees file an Employee Profile "to state job preferences, to articulate skills and to provide a resume."
Still, library officials left many other questions unanswered, according to Director of Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers Bill Jaeger.
"There were vague references made to reductions in the size of the staff," said Jaeger. "Despite persistent questions from the audience the [library] leaders were not able or willing to provide anything more specific than that."
Though Jaeger said that he does not see the rationale for staff cuts, he recommended that the University employ "more enlightened" voluntary methods if staff is to be reduced.
"Our contract with the University requires union-management consultation when a department is considering [such changes]," said Jaeger. "We're pretty confident that as this goes forward we'll continue to hear from them."
The staff reduction comes as part of a larger reorganization of library personnel that will be presented for approval next week to the Library Board, the body overseeing the library's long-term transition. The Board will then be responsible for presenting the plan to University President Drew G. Faust.
Pending the plan's acceptance, more detailed explanations of the organizational changes will be revealed during library staff meetings in February, according to a University statement.

Most gardeners are familiar with hybrid vegetable varieties, which have been bred to produce superior plants with desirable traits, such as uniformity, early fruiting or resistance to disease. One drawback of buying hybrid plants, though, is that in most cases you can't save their seeds for replanting. Many gardeners turn instead to open-pollinated heirloom varieties, which produce seeds that can be saved from year to year. So the phrase "hybrid heirlooms" may sound like a contradiction in terms, but it's the best way to describe 'Red Lightning' and 'Black Pearl' — two new tomato varieties from Burpee.
'Red Lightning' (see photo in Image Gallery) boasts the yellow stripes of its parent variety, 'Red Zebra,' and fruity-flavored 'Black Pearl' looks like its chocolate-tinted parent, 'Black Cherry.' But the major benefits of these new heirloom varieties — strong resistance to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt diseases — are worth the hybrid trade-off to gardeners who have tried to grow heirloom tomatoes, but were foiled by these widespread and persistent soilborne diseases.
Burpee's interest in heirloom plants dates back to 1876, when founder W. Atlee Burpee collected hundreds of variety samples from his customers. The current Burpee president, George Ball Jr., is fascinated by heirlooms, too, especially those originally bred by Burpee. A few years ago, Ball located a New Jersey farmer growing a lima bean once known as 'Burpee's Big 6-Pole Lima' — a remarkably large-podded variety bearing nickel-size beans that have the taste and texture of baby limas. After several seasons of quality selection at the company's Fordhook Farm in Pennsylvania, this vigorous variety has been re-released this year as 'Big Mama.'
Burpee horticulturalist Tracy Lee says the company will continue to select and breed superior heirloom strains, which often do not require hybridization. For example, starting with the hollow-hearted 'Yellow Stuffer' bell pepper, Burpee has spent five years selecting the best plants for uniformity, high yield and a more distinct shape. Renamed 'Yellow Magic,' this improved open-pollinated version is now offered alongside the new hybrid heirlooms.

Re: To the lockout alarmists
But his game analysis stinks. He'd never stand a chance on a show like NFLN's Playbook where they break down plays. And with regards to him being always right, remind me of his position regarding HWWNBN (said he'd be gone before the guy's contract was extended), VY (said he'd take the Tits to a Super Bowl within 5 years), and Fisher being fired every season for the past few years. I've heard all of this from the dude's piehole and he was wrong every time. Which is why I enjoy the entertainment aspects of his perspectives, but I don't bank on his opinions. Quote:
I got nothing personal against McClain, but that pic just cracks me up. I can hear that raspy voice babbling on about some chick flick that his wife took him to and how fantastic it was to see.

FRIDAY, Nov. 16 (HealthDay News) -- The ongoing meningitis outbreak tied to tainted steroid injections has now reached 480 cases, and another person has died, bringing the total fatalities to 33, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday.
The latest death from a rare, fungal form of meningitis occurred in Indiana, the agency said.
The political and legal fallout from the steroid-linked outbreak also continues to mount. On Thursday, the head of the lobby that represents compounding pharmacies told a U.S. Senate committee that tighter federal regulations were not needed to oversee his industry, despite the rising death toll from the outbreak that's been linked to products from these types of pharmacies.
According to the Associated Press, the head of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists testified that existing regulations, which primarily put oversight responsibility on individual states, are enough to monitor compounding pharmacies.
Compounding pharmacies combine, mix or alter ingredients to create drugs to meet the specific needs of individual patients. Such custom-made drugs may include a smaller dose, for example, or the removal of an ingredient that might trigger an allergy in a patient, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
These specialty pharmacies aren't subject to the same FDA oversight as regular drug manufacturers. So, some members of Congress are calling for greater FDA regulation of these businesses.
But David Miller, chief executive officer of the compounding pharmacies' lobbyist group, told the senators that current state laws, if enforced, would have prevented the meningitis outbreak. And the Massachusetts company in question, the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, was shipping medication without first receiving prescriptions from doctors, a viola

It's an easy project. You can build a cold smoker in a few minutes time and for the cost of just a few dollars. With just an empty can, a soldering iron and a bag of smoker pellets, you'll be able to create your own smoke generator.
Next time you open a can of corn or green beans, save that can. Open the can only about two-thirds of the way around. The lid will support the soldering iron. Remove the label and any adhesive left on the outside of the can, and clean the inside thoroughly. With a small, sharp and sturdy knife, create a hole just large enough for the soldering iron near where the lid is attached to the can.
Purchase a new soldering iron for this project. DO NOT use one that has been used for soldering. There may be lead, a toxic heavy metal, present that could contaminate your food. A small soldering iron is all that's necessary. I purchased one at a large discount store for less than $5.00.
There are several types and flavors of smoker pellets available. Check out the grilling and barbecue section at your favorite store and you should be able to find some. I have used Jack Daniel's Brand smoker pellets with good results.
Lay the smoke generator in your grill or smoker with your food that's to be cold smoked. Close the lid, being careful not to damage the electric cord. Plug in the soldering iron and you're good to go. The generator will create cool smoke for up to an hour before needing to be recharged with pellets. Be aware that one filling of pellets may be enough, depending on what you're smoking. The pellets create quite a bit of smoke flavor.
To see the cold smoke generator in action, watch my short video, where I build a cold smoker for smoking a block of cheddar cheese.

Sorry but this item is currently Out of Stock.
Please check back at a later stage.
You love your pet and she loves her freedom. Are you concerned her curiosity will tempt her to wander away or into the road?
You need an inexpensive pet fence system to keep her in your yard, and the Innotek Basic In-Ground Dog Fence will give your pet her freedom but also keep her safe at home. With this system you can cover up to 5 acres of property and contain multiple pets if each is wearing a receiver collar.
In the matter of a few hours, you can design a custom fence to meet your dog's and your needs. The Transmitter sends a radio signal through the wire buried in your yard or you can use our pet fence staples to install the wire above ground. The wire acts as an antenna to send a signal to the Receiver Collar. Your pet hears a tone as she approaches the wire, and will feel a harmless static correction if she tries to leave your yard. This deters your pet from crossing the boundary. In the beginning, the boundary flags provide a visual "fence" for your pet to see where her boundary is located.
After you install your system, you will train your pet on a leash until you feel comfortable letting her roam freely. We recommend two to three training sessions every day lasting about 10 to 15 minutes each. Depending on your pet, it may take up to two weeks for your pet to become fully trained to the system. Once she is, you'll likely find your pet has become more confident and enjoys the freedom the fence provides.
Cut Your Pet Fence Installation Time in HALF & Avoid The Task of Burying Wire. Use Our "Pet Fence Staples" to Install Your Underground Fence - Above Ground! Learn About Above Ground Pet Fence Installation.
This Pet Fence Kit includes everything you need to contain one pet in a yard up to 1/3 acre. With additional wire and flags, you can enclose up to 5 acres in size. With additional collars, you contain an unlimited number of pets.

Very satisfied with my purchase. Just had it installed 3 days and my dog doesn't even have to wear the collar now. She won't go near the fence.

We had our Boxer pup and Beagle Pup trained in less than 2 days. The beagle ran through it on the 2nd day and hasn't done it since even if she is chasing a cat. The Boxer took about 3 days but now he will not get within 15 feet from the flags. By far the best money I have ever spent. Follow the training instructions completely!!!

We had an Invisible Fence at our former residence and didn't want to spend $1000+ to install another, so we decided to try this product. My husband installed it by himself in a weekend and the dogs learned very quickly what the boundary is. Overall, a great buy.
Posted by chautter on May 7th 2012
We live on several acres and have very undefined boundaries for the dogs to learn. The RadioFence has severed well to keep our Corgi where he belongs and safe.
Posted by Pet lover on May 7th 2012
This is an excellent product! We have a very active Border Collie, and he was trained the same day we installed the fence. We love the freedom our dog has, and he knows what his boundaries are. We buried the wire, and it works great even under 3' of snow. Highly recommend this dog fence!

awsome I love it
Posted by Ol' Wiley on Apr 13th 2012
Can't complain. First battery lasted almost 6 months. Picked up some replacements online cheap. Keeps our Basset Hound mix from chasing rabbits all night long to who knows where. Have recommended this setup to friends.... it was nice and cheap and has worked great.

Why was it that Ed Koch made him kosher for NY politics again? Gotta look up the ol' VV exposé on it....
The Reverend Al Sharpton has proven that it's a waste of ink to detail his decades of bad behavior: the payoffs, shakedowns, conflicts of interests, campaign violations, and legal problems that have come along with his career as a racial provocateur, including his crack about Jewish "diamond dealers" that helped fuel the Crown Heights riot 20 years ago this week. As Much because of as in spite of his sins, he's emerged as a national figure and a dominant player in New York City Democratic politics – where he's kneecapped the party's last four mayoral nominees.
Think of Sharpton's approval as one of his protection rackets (many candidates would prefer his silence to his endorsement, given how unpopular he remains with white voters). Most of the candidates who pay tribute to him aren't nearly as concerned with the support of a man who has never drawn even 150,000 votes in four losing runs for office, as with defending themselves from the negative attention he can summon.
I wrote last week about how more than a decade of declining turnout has diminished New York's political culture and made it less representative of the city as a whole. Sharpton has both contributed to and benefited from that trend, as his small but steady vote base has made him a bigger fish in a smaller pool. And you can't understand the upcoming mayoral race without considering The Sharpton Factor.
While he's shown little ability to help friends, his power to punish enemies is unquestioned. In his 2002 book, Al on America, Sharpton titles the chapter on the 2001 mayoral race "Kingmaker?"—but "King Killer" would be more accurate. His decision that year not to back Democrat Mark Green after he beat out Sharpton's then-ally Fernando Ferrer in a runoff for the party's nod was crucial to Michael Bloomberg's surprise win.
Sharpton has kept a low profile during the Bloomberg years (a non-aggression pact he now seems to have also reached with Obama) in exchange for public appearances with the mayor and cash funneled through former schools chancellor Joel Klein. But the reported new MSNBC host has continued to play a key role in Democratic politics as a force to be feared, having wounded a rainbow coalition of the party's candidates in New York.
Sharpton has wielded this power despite collecting only 130,000 votes in each of his three primary runs for New York offices in the 1990s (Senate in 1992 and 1994, and mayor in 1997). As analyst Jim Chapin noted, "there has been no candidate for office in the history of New York City with so defined a group of supporters as Al Sharpton . . . [His] New York City vote has stayed the same regardless of over-all turnout"—as did his numbers in different boroughs and assembly districts. The Sharpton Constant was halved in his 2004 presidential bid, when he collected just 57,000 votes statewide.
In 1997, Sharpton, without improving his vote total, nearly forced a runoff with eventual nominee Ruth Messinger—and took the primary results to court (his complaint was eventually dismissed), hamstringing her already uninspired bid to unseat Rudolph Giuliani. After damaging Green in 2001, Sharpton effectively split with Ferrer in 2005, giving his former ally a belated and tepid endorsement while making clear he would have no issue with four more years of the mayor who had become his patron. (That move also put the last nail in the coffin of the black-Latino alliance the two men forged four years earlier. The groups had once represented two of the three crucial constituencies in New York politics, with Jewish voters being the third.) In 2009, Sharpton offered an equally unenthusiastic endorsement of then-comptroller William Thompson, the first African American to have held the office, who ended up falling just 50,000 votes short in his bid to unseat Bloomberg.
Sharpton's power isn't limited to the city, as national Democratic hopefuls made pilgrimages to his House of Justice to pay homage in 2000 (who can forget Bill Bradley chanting "No Justice, No Peace"?) and 2008. Obama, his eye on reelection, came to New York earlier this year to attend the annual conference of Sharpton's National Action Network—the first sitting president to do so. Sharpton has made five trips to the Obama White House, and he's worked closely with Education Secretary Arne Duncan, paralleling his arrangement in New York with Bloomberg and Klein.
Much of his leverage comes from his willingness to leave his party behind. Sharpton has a long history of undermining Democrats and backing Republicans, and his 2004 presidential run was coordinated by self-proclaimed "GOP hitman" Roger Stone, and aimed squarely at then–Democratic favorite Howard Dean (which also served as an indirect way for Sharpton to take shots at his mentor and rival, Jesse Jackson Jr., an early supporter of the former Vermont governor.)
In part because he's so much fun to talk with and write about, much of the press continually forgives or forgets Sharpton's many trespasses. It's easier to write about his latest "reinvention" than to circle back to his dealings with the FBI, or his role in the Freddy's Fashion Mart fire, or the Flatbush Korean grocers boycott—and that's just the "F"s. Even stories about those, or this story for that matter, help keep his name in the news and on New Yorkers' minds.
So, what role will Sharpton play in 2013, as candidates court their potential killer? That will likely depend on what he's bid for his services.
"People complain I run for something I can't win," Sharpton told me in 2002. "How do they know what I'm trying to win?"
Why was it that Ed Koch made him kosher for NY politics again? Gotta look up the ol' VV exposé on it....
Al Sharpton always complains about racial disparities but he never complains that the white folks in Benherst served 10x longer then the black lynch mob in Crown Heights. The person who assaulted Sharpton years ago served more time then the black man who stabbed Yankel Rosenbaum to death.

Shina or Sina (支那 (シナ)?, pronounced [ɕiꜜna]) are romanized Japanese transliterations for the Chinese character compound "支那" which, in connection with usage by Japanese, is now viewed by most Chinese people as an offensive term for China. Originally a word used neutrally in both Chinese and Japanese, the word gained a derogatory tone due to its widespread usage in the context of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
The Sanskrit word Cina (चीन IPA: /c͡çiːnə/), for China, was transcribed into various forms including 支那 (Zhīnà), 芝那 (Zhīnà), 脂那 (Zhīnà) and 至那 (Zhìnà). Thus, the term Shina was initially created in Chinese as a translation of "Cina." This term was in turn brought to Japan with the spread of Chinese Buddhism. Traditional etymology holds that the Sanskrit name derives from the Qin state or dynasty (秦, Old Chinese: *dzin) which ruled China from 221–206 BC. In this was the Sanskrit name for Qin came back to China in a different form, just as Qin would be at the root of Middle Persian Čīn (چین), and Latin Sina.
Below is a Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907) poem titled Ti Fan Shu (literally "preface to a Sanskrit book") by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang using the Chinese term Zhina (支那) to refer to China:
At first, it was widely accepted that the term "Shina" or "Zhina" had no political connotations. In fact, before the Republican era, the term "Shina" was one of the names proposed as a "generalized, basically neutral Western-influenced equivalent for 'China.'" Chinese revolutionaries, such as Sun Yat-sen, Sung Chiao-jen, and Liang Qichao, used the term extensively, and it was also used in literature as well as by ordinary Chinese. The term "transcended politics, as it were, by avoiding reference to a particular dynasty (the Qing) or having to call China 'the country of the Qing' (Shinkoku)." But with the overthrow of the Qing in 1911, most Chinese dropped Shina as foreign and demanded that Japan replace it with Zhonghua minguo or simply Zhongguo.[1]
The Latin term for China was Sinae, plural of Sina. When Arai Hakuseki, a Japanese scholar, interrogated the Italian missionary Giovanni Battista Sidotti in 1708, he noticed that "Sinae", the Latin plural word Sidotti used to refer to China, was similar to Shina, the Japanese pronunciation of 支那. Then he began to use this word for China regardless of dynasty. Since the Meiji Era, Shina had been widely used as the translation of the Western term "China". For instance, "Sinology" was translated into "Shinagaku" (支那学).
The First Sino-Japanese War caused the view that it had a negative nuance to gradually spread among the Chinese.
Nevertheless the term continued to be more-or-less neutral. A Buddhist school called Zhīnà Nèixuéyuàn (支那內學院) was established as late as in 1922 in Nanjing. In the meantime, "Shina" was used as commonly in Japanese as "China" in English. Derogatory nuances were expressed by adding extra adjectives (e.g. 暴虐なる支那兵 ("cruel Chinese soldiers") or using derogatory terms like chankoro (チャンコロ), originating from a corruption of the Taiwanese Hokkien pronunciation of 清國奴 Chheng-kok-lô͘, used to refer to any "chinaman", with a meaning of "Qing dynasty's slave".
Despite interchangeability of Chinese characters, Japan officially used the term Shina Kyōwakoku (支那共和国) from 1913 to 1930 in Japanese documents, while Zhonghua Minguo (中華民國) was used in Chinese ones. "Shina Kyōwakoku" was the literal translation of the English "Republic of China" while Chūka Minkoku was the Japanese pronunciation of the official Chinese characters of "Zhonghua Minguo". The Republic of China unofficially pressed Japan to adopt the latter but was rejected.
Japan rejected the term "Chūka Minkoku" for four different reasons: (1) the term referring to China (then Republic) as "the center of the world" was arrogant; (2) Western countries used "China"; (3) Shina was the common name in Japan for centuries; (4) Japan already has a Chugoku, in its western region. The name "Chūka Minkoku" was officially adopted by Japan in 1930 but "Shina" was still commonly used by the Japanese throughout the 1930s and 1940s.[2]
Japan today[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2014) |
The Second Sino-Japanese War fixed the impression of the term "Shina" as offensive among Chinese people. In 1946, the Republic of China demanded that Japan cease using "Shina".
In China, the term Shina has become linked with the Japanese invasion and Japanese war crimes, and has been considered a derogatory and deeply offensive ethnic slur ever since. Although many assume that the term was created (or chosen) by the Japanese for exclusive use as a racist term, since the character 支 (Japanese: shi; Chinese: zhī) means "branch" which could be interpreted to suggest that the Chinese are subservient to the Japanese, the characters were originally chosen simply for their sound values, not their meanings.
In modern Japan, the term 中華民国 refers to the Republic of China, 中華人民共和国 refers to the People's Republic of China; the terms being used similarly in the Western world and unofficially in both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China. Use of the term "Shina" in Japanese political contexts is limited to those who pointedly ignore Chinese demands, and often has an anti-Chinese bent, so as to gain support in Japanese nationalism.[original research?]
It is considered socially unacceptable and subject to kotobagari, especially the kanji form (if Shina is used, it is now generally written in katakana). However, even then it is still sometimes seen in written forms such as shina soba (支那そば?), an alternative name for ramen, which originates from China. Many Japanese are not fully aware of Chinese feelings towards the term, and generally find Shina merely old-fashioned and associated with the early and mid-20th century, rather than derogatory and racist. This difference in conception can lead to misunderstandings.
A few compound words containing Shina have been altered; for example, the term for Sinology was changed from Shinagaku (支那学 ?) ("Shina-studies") to Chūgokugaku (中国学?) ("Chinese studies"), and the name for the Second Sino-Japanese War has changed from terms such as Shina jihen (支那事變?) ("The China Incident"), Nisshi jihen (日支事變?) ("The Japan-Shina Incident") and Nitchū sensō (日中戦争?) ("Japan-China War").
On the other hand, the term Shina / Zhina has survived in a few non-political compound words in both Chinese and Japanese. For example, the South and East China Seas are called Minami Shina Kai (南シナ海) and Higashi Shina Kai (東シナ海) respectively in Japanese (prior to World War II, the names were written as 南支那海 and 東支那海), and one of the Chinese names for Indochina is Yindu Zhina (印度支那 Indoshina). Shinachiku (支那竹 or simply シナチク), a ramen topping made from dried bamboo, also derives from the term "Shina", but in recent years the word menma (メンマ) has replaced this as a more politically correct name. Some terms that translate to words containing the "Sino-" prefix in English retain Shina within them, albeit written in katakana, for example シナ・チベット語族 (Sino-Tibetan languages) and シナントロプス・ペキネンシス (Sinanthropus pekinensis, also known as Peking Man).

Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Crocheting |
Type | Clothing |
Yarn Weight | Worsted (10 ply) |
Sizing | Women |
Style | Traditional, Mod, Cute, Classic |
What materials did you use? Caron Simply Soft Yarn - a little more than one skein, 6 oz, 315 yards each skein.Crochet hook size IMop handle
What are you most proud of? The first yarn I tried was too thin and hard to handle. I bought a slightly thicker yarn and this one worked much better.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Practice this stitch before trying to make something. You need to master the stitch and figure out how it will look so you can determine how many clusters to make across and how long to go. NOTE: Most of the images I found online make this stitch one row after the other - but I added two rows of single crochet as I think it stands out better and does not look quite so busy. You'll have to play with it and see what you like.

What's In Season at the Farmers Market: Stinging Nettles + A Recipe For Nettle Pancakes
Stinging nettles from Flora Bella Farm at the Hollywood market
Felicia Friesema
Let's forgive the Stinging Nettle -- an herbaceous weed currently popping up all over Southern California following our December rains -- for evolving those highly annoying tiny little hypodermic needles that give it its name. The poor plant has been unceremoniously ripped out of the ground for thousands of years to treat everything from madness to arthritis to asthma to "the female affliction." The stem fibers make both rope and fine, linen-like cloth. And it's also the base for vegetarian rennet in cheese making.
Second maybe only to hemp, the stinging nettle is one of the most useful -- and freely available -- invasive weeds in the state, though its recent renaissance is based on its versatility as a freely foraged food.
James Birch at Flora Bella Farm actually loves the stings ("I use it to treat my arthritis," he says), which turns out to be a good thing. As a small organic farmer (he's on 20 acres total) he chooses to farm with nature rather than against it. Weeds, many of which are eminently edible and nutritious, are an organic farm's fact of life. One that allows him to harvest a healthy secondary crop of wild edibles, Miner's lettuce, Lamb's Quarters, Purslane and yes, Stinging Nettles among them, which he provides to Pizzeria Mozza, Gjelina, and A.O.C., as well as at the Hollywood and Santa Monica farmers markets.
The nettle's sting comes from formic acid which is injected into the skin via the hollow hair-like needles. Simply brushing up against the nettle will produce a nasty rash. Thankfully the needles lose efficacy with wilting and cooking, allowing the user to benefit from its high protein -- more than almost every other green leaf out there -- and heavy nutrient density which includes vitamin A, several B's, lots of C and D and an abundance of minerals including calcium, iron (one of the richest plant sources), manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silicon and sulfur. Their taste is similarly rich -- green and grassy like spinach and heavily herbal.
Stinging nettles are commonly used to make tea (said to be great for asthma and allergy sufferers) and are the base for a verdant deep green winter and spring soup. Jaci Slotnik, a local private chef who interned at Flora Bella in 2009, still comes back to work at the Flora Bella stand as needed. Her current go-to nettle recipe is for savory pancakes.
"The recipe is very flexible," says Slotnik. "You can add bacon or herbs."
Nettle Pancakes
From: Jaci Slotnik, of Flora Bella Farm
Serves: about 4
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspooon sea salt
1 3/4 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk or water
3 Tablespoons butter or oil
2 eggs
1 cup fresh nettle leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sliced scallions (or diced regular onion)
1 garlic clove, minced
1. Heat a pan over medium and saute garlic (and regular onion, if using). Set aside.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl, and mix all liquid ingredients in a smaller bowl. Quickly mix the liquid ingredients into the dry mixture with a whisk until just moistened. Fold in nettles, scallion/onion, and garlic.
3. For best results make batter the night before (so the batter can rest). Cook pancakes on a well seasoned cast iron or non-stick pan over medium low heat. Use about a 1/4 c. of batter per pancake. Enjoy with butter or sour cream and sprinkle with black pepper.

Narrenzauber's Junk Box
Hi everyone!
I was lurking around this page for quite a while like, uhm, I guess a lot of other people here.
I am drawing since 10 years for now, so I don't have any newby excuse. That's also a reason why I am pretty much excited. But hey, the worst case scenario would be, that someone is telling me, that I still have a lot to work on, which I know perfectly well. ._.
At the moment I don't really know how good or bad I am really are. The only thing I know is, that I am not as good as I wanted to be right now and I am kind of stuck. I guess one reason is my too limited visual library, which I want to extend and my lack of practise. Yes, I admit it... I am kinda lazy... Oh my... But I want to change it and I want to improve.
For me drawing and painting is a hobby, but an important one. I don't know if I want to sell my skill and work later in my life, but right now I am not good enough for it anyway. So I am more focusing to bring personal concepts and stories to life with my works, which is also the reason why I started drawing at all.
I have uploades some stuff I made this year (from January to March). As you can see in my uploaded works I am working with different media, like the pencil, coloured pencils, acrylics, water colours, oil pastels and Photoshop. Later I am planning to do some coal studies, but the sheets of paper for this is still in preparation.
(The last painting, with the man on it, the pink one... Don't take it too seriously, it was just for fun. ^^" )
And for the things I think I need to work on... Well I don't want to list them now, because I want to know your thoughts, which aren't influenced by me.
Oh and one thing I want to mention: English is not my mother toungue. So if there is something you don't understand, because I messed it up, just tell me and I will try to explain it in a better and more correct way.- Similar Threads

Hide this ad by registering as a memberMarch 30th, 2012 #2Alright, now you've seen some works from this year, but no really new ones and I want to show you that I am wiling to practise.
I am still trying to figure out how the body of a bird works. So I make some sketches from time to time and I really like barn owls. At the moment I find nearly everything else more interesting than the human body. I guess it's because I studied the human body quite some time and I need to do other things right now. I know I still have to practice the human body and I will, but not now.
What you can see here: birds. Ah... yes... No, I really just wanted to tell you how I worked. You see two sheets of paper, where I worked with some pencils. It's a bit messy, because normally I am just working with line art. So I need some practise with shading.
On the digital "paper" the first two owls have the same reference, but one is done just with lines and the other is made just with shapes and colours. Since a while I had trouble selecting colours correctly in the digital media, but hadn't any problem with traditional medias. It seems that it's not a problem anymore. ._. Well, let's see.
The last line art is not as detailed as I wished it to be, but the reference was too small, but I really liked the flying pose. >.< So I used it. Next time I will work with a bigger one, where I can see the details, especially on the wings.
March 30th, 2012 #3Those are some nice owl studies. The way I see it, animals (including birds) aren't really all that different from humans in terms of underlying structure. Maybe you can look at some bird skeletons to get more comfortable with their proportions?

The Following User Says Thank You to Sasha Fietskova For This Useful Post:
March 31st, 2012 #5@ IntoTheVoid
Actually looking at the skeleton of a bird and drawing it, to understand it, was the first thing I did, when I started to study birds, but it didn't hurt to repeat it and while comparing the two drawings, I realized, that I understand the proportion of a bird better than half a year ago. Still, I have my problems with birds. I guess it is because of the feathers. They can change the basic shape drastically, for example when birds fluff their feathers. Maybe it's just a matter of experience.
The second page did take quite a time. <.< When I am drawing or painting faces, I have a mistake there, but I don't know what it is. So I did some faces. One without a reference (to see what I already know) and the other two with references like you can see. I postet the photos next to the paintings. As you see I have problems to get the proportions of the reference right. I need to practise it, but this issue can be solved with every subject I want.

It took me something between 20 and 30 hours. So, yes it was time consuming. And it was hard to keep working on it.
Thank you two for the comments!
March 31st, 2012 #6I know what you mean about feathers; I could never manage to get wings to look convincing enough.
You managed to capture a lot of expression in those faces. Reminds me of the subtle changes Norman Rockwell made to his illustrations.
I think you might be rushing a bit into the painting stage before the underdrawing is complete. Try measuring the shapes using negative space. Flipping the picture around as you work can also help.

April 1st, 2012 #7Alright, negative space. I tried it out today. Yeah, I see the advantages. But what do you mean with starting painting too early? I start rendering, when defined the basic shape of the object.
Today wasn't my day. I did a fast creature design, which I had in my mind, but there is something missing, so I guess I will do one more later, when I get the idea to make the creature more satisfying for me. Then there is a cat painting, which I havn't finished, because I lost motivation and the idea I had become moring to me. And at last there is a photostudy, where I tried out painting over the negative space. Well, uhm I guess I need to study the basics of a cats head, before making photo studies. There are also some gestures. Just doodling around and thinking about an interesting pose for on character, who doesn't exist yet, but I have a vague idea.
April 1st, 2012 #8Oh, sorry, I should have clarified that one. I think it's pretty common procedure, but you might be using a different workflow. Do you put down any guiding lines before you start rendering? I ask because on the faces you posted, the positioning of all the parts is just a tiiiiiny bit askew, each one compounding the next. What I meant by "starting too early" was that it might be solved by ensuring the guiding lines are all accurate before you starting painting.
The latest owl piece is very dynamic! I look forward to seeing it progressing.

April 3rd, 2012 #10Thank you very much for the comments. In the next time I won't be able to update much, because of lack of time, but I will at least use the time I have for studying. So, let's say, I try to update at least 2 times a week. And today I won't show much, so sorry, but I need to adjust to the new situation. After this I should be able to post more. Well, it's all about time management
Normally I use guide lines, but while painting I don't use them often, because I am flipping the image around to find mistakes and it helps alot. But I guess I should use them more often. It helps to keep the eyes on one line for example. Thx for the reminder.
Thx. I am happy that you like this artwork. It took me quite a while to finish it.
April 5th, 2012 #11Hey, mate. You certainly picked up this sketchbook with the right attitude, it's good to see people so positive.
You've got some interesting ideas, 'fraid you're right when you said you need to dig back into the basics, I say when you get into a schedual though, studies are really theraputic.
Nice colours you're using though. 'specially on the cat! Though, it wouldn't do you harm to pick on a refference of cats and rework what you have.
People often build ideas from the top of their heads, then do several animal studies before revising the design. It means your ideas are still fresh and your own, but you can build onto them with more of an understanding for animal anatomy and all that.
No more crits from me really, just keep up the good work and welcome to CA

You are certainly right. First of all: Never did really some studies about cats, so I can't draw them correct yet, but it will change during the next month. But I have a long list. The last years I concentrated so much on humans, that I wasn't able to practise animals. But I will make studies!
About the usage of references: When I am working on a bigger work, for example, I sketch my idea and maybe to start painting. When I realize that there is a mistake, which I can't fix myself, I am looking for references to see what the mistake is and how it would like correct. So I am not afraid of using references. ^^ I hope it doesn't appear like that! ._.
And about the part that making studies is therapeutic: Yup, you're right! One can learn a lot plus you can get inspired, too. :] Like I say to mayself and friends: You can't get an idea, if you don't have any hint that something like this even exists. Ideas are building up on each other.
So and here some studies and two images from monday. Narf... Within the week I really don't have much time. >.< I need to do something about that...
Used media: pencil on the little sketches I did during luch break; oil pastels, pastels and charcoal on the skulls and my character.
The bald headed man is one of my characters. I need to redesign him, because I am not sure how his scar and eye should look like, but I wanted to draw him. Will post his developement later.
April 6th, 2012 #14Hey there, thought I'd return the favor! Good workin' so far . Take your time for your studies; they look like you may be rushing them to be done, but remember why you're doing them. Learn as much as you can from each observation.

April 7th, 2012 #15http://attachments.conceptart.org/fo...1&d=1333729568 I really like this sketch, her nose is more defined than in the painting, and I think it shows her personality a bit better. Absolutely heart her outfit btw.
I noticed it's a recurring character, is there a story behind her?
April 18th, 2012 #16heyy! after so much feedbak you gave me i fnally had time to reciprocate the favor! I think you're doing pretty good! i'd advise some more anatomy studies in both human and animal, take your time, don't worry about that, learn asmuch as you can, nevertheless you're doing pretty good, I rreally like the colors you're using, awesome!! keep it up
